Incredible old New York vibe. A bit edgy and I love that. Tom the bartender is lovely and sings pretty songs upstairs sometimes. Oh and the Treehouse room upstairs is a great place for music .

Bonobos

Great two-for-one happy hour every day until 8PM. And they even let you bring in tacos from the delicious taco truck across the street.

DoubleDeuce

A charming mix of old bar smell and new bar windows and sidewalk seating . Great people watching here and if you're the type, a bit of frosé in the warmer months.

Been here a bunch but once I took a first date here before seeing Sound Team and Cold War Kids at Mercury Lounge . That was 2006 and we are now married and have a daughter. It worked! Oh, have an IPA .

Eric Ryan

Neighborhood bar with a local charm has cool bartenders , reasonable prices, and an upstairs lounge with sofa and ottoman-style seating and floor-to-ceiling windows providing a great view outside.

Jason Brew

A solid spot to relax with a drink at the window and watch people walk by...

Dens

Sit upstairs in the corner and look out over 2nd St & Ave A. One of the best seats in NYC to have a drink. Hint: don't try this one weekend.

As i've mentioned not drinking this year and although I've drank here I can't really recall the prices, I did notice they now have popcorn and what's kinda cool about this spot are the two different f Read more

The upstairs DJ had too great-a-tunes for a Tuesday night. Unnecessary epicness. Loved it!

Amanda R

The music downstairs is pretty crappy, but go upstairs to the lounge area with a DJ & big windows & a view of projected images onto the building across the street.

Jacob Forster

Free karaoke on Thursday nights upstairs! A great crowd and loads of fun!

Kristen Baxter

This place seems much more enticing from the outside than once you enter it's surprisingly bland depths. Also, essentially every bar on this block has a buy one get one free happy hour .

Harry Raymond

Upstairs is the way to go. Nice view of Ave A.

Sinking Ship Records

David Cross is there. Right now. Drinking downstairs by the door. I promise you. (Well ... he's been there almost every time I've been!)

Natalie LeMoss

Great comedy nights on Mondays!

Laser Burners

Classic low-key non-gentrified LES bars with happy hour buybacks

Harry Raymond

If you're looking for Bar Berlin, it's around the corner in the basement .

Jeff Savage

Happy hour here is perfect. Free popcorn !

William Vreeland

Free popcorn , record player and Sunday happy hour , 2 for 1. Hearts.

D Hash

Free popcorn , 2 for 1 drinks at happy hour . Great layout - good tunes . Can't go wrong.

Liquid Todd

Awesome people-watching with a prime corner spot and big windows . 2-for-1 happy hour every day!

Brian Van Nieuwenhoven

Classic NYC bar . Essential visit.

WillMcD

Not sure it's deserves to be called a Dive Bar . If you get your hand stamp at Mercury Lounge beers are only $3. PS go up stairs already!

Matthew D

probably one of my favorites, head upstairs

Rick Conti

Karaoke Every Monday Upstairs at 10pm

Emily Sears

If you need to stretch your hamstring, do it before you go in because it can get crowded in there.
